The equation that relates m to f, given that the area is m when measured in square meters, and f when measured in square feet, is f = 10.8m (option D)
How to determine the equation relating m to f?
From the question given, we observed the following:
- Area in square meter = m
- Area in square feet = f
- Equation relating m to f =?
According to standard conversion, the area in square in square meter is related to area in square feet as follow:
1 square meter = 10.8 square feet
But, we were told above that area in square meter is m and area in square feet is f. Thus, we have:
1 square meter = 10.8 square feet
Therefore,
m × 10.8 = f
10.8m = f
Thus,
f = 10.8m
Now, we can conclude that the equation that relates m to f is: f = 10.8 m. Thus, correct answer is option D
